People usually think that chairs are the primary issue when it comes to soreness and back pain, but what we often forget is that chairs are only half of the problem. Office desks also dictate the kind of posture a person will have throughout his working hours. Not every person has the same height but most if not all office desks have the same build, so it’s more likely that the person will be the one to adjust instead of the other way around.
A great solution to this problem is the Ergotron Workfit-S Dual With Work Surface. The height-adjustable column makes it easy for you to sit up straight with the right posture and still be able to work comfortably.
